What's New

Version History

4.13

Aug 9, 2018

Don’t have time to read an article sent in a push notification when the story breaks? Don’t worry; our new Notifications Center is easily accessible from the top of the sections menu, listing all the recent alerts from the topics you’ve signed up to follow.

Tend to multitask? Now if you tap to play a video, it will minimize to a smaller view if you scroll down to scan the story’s text, allowing you to keep an eye on both. Done with the video? Just tap “Close,” and it’ll pause and hide from view until you scroll back to the top.

We’re trying new things with video. It still requires a tap to start playing, so you’re always in control. But if you’d like to scan a story while keeping an eye on an already playing video, just scroll down, and the player will minimize to the top of the screen. Pause, mute, or close it, even in the smaller state.

The header of the app is now optimized for the “notch” at the top of iPhone X screens.

We’ve also fixed some nagging issues around search, freezing story pages, and the close icon not being responsive on iPhone X.

We take your access to our reporting seriously, and are working hard to improve the app experience. Drop us a line at mobilefeedback@tronc.com to tell us what you like and what can be improved.

Tribune subscriber for 20+ years. I’ve called them. All they can suggest is delete and reinstall. Been there; done that - no better. I’m done. This app glitches, freezes, restarts, won’t open. C’mon Tribune Company. We’re paying for this, we’re subscribers. E news isn’t the future, it’s the present. Get it right.

Bad app, worse customer service

It used to work fine, now more than half of the time I try to view an article, it locks up and after several minutes, shuts down. ‘Reinstall’ they say and blame the device. Ok. Subscription canceled.

I was liking the app until video ads started playing with sound. I’m a paid subscriber . Is this a joke? I immediately deleted it.
